I've not grown the variety Cedrico, so I'm not sure if it should have wispy type foliage, but I suspect not.
How much sunlight are your plants getting and are what are you feeding your plants?

Cedrico's are robust growers and make 'normal' leaves so something is not right there.
Are yours growing in ground..pots..growbags?

Jay i grow Cedrico but without a picture it would be hard to diagnose a proplem
The top of the plant is a shade lighter green than the more mature stems, but the first thing that came to mind when you say the top is weak and feathery i was the weedkiller that the farmers were using Amliphid or something like that.
The top of the plant tends to roll down like a you fern

I have the plants  growing in ring culture pots on a growbag in the greenhouse.The weedkiller wouldn't be the problem (I suffered from that 2 years ago on my allotment).I have shading in the greenhouse on the roof. I will try and post a picture later in the meantime thanks for the help.
